<p><strong>A Hindu festival celebrating the bond between siblings and families.</strong></p>

<p><strong>The act of tying a thread on another person’s wrist signifying the sheer promise of protection for life.</strong></p>



<p><strong>A truly gratifying ritual resulting in big loss of pocket money.</strong></p>



<ol><li><em>While tying <a href="https://www.venuemonk.com/blog/10-movies-to-binge-watch-this-rakhi-with-your-siblings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rakhi</a> on my sister’s hand I accidentally called her a millennial beanbag, she legit tore my amazon gift voucher. Turns out I am excellent at gaslighting myself.</em></li></ol>

<p>Hello world, this is our version of the updated definition of Rakhi. This August we are celebrating bonds, love and late night WhatsApp calls, cribbing over any minute inconvenience between mutually dependent friends, who have decided to be each other’s mum. The idea is to not take away from the salient idea of Raksha Bandhan but in fact add more essence to it.</p>



<p>But here's a new idea that we need to normalize - </p>



<p><a href="https://www.venuemonk.com/blog/10-movies-to-binge-watch-this-rakhi-with-your-siblings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Raksha Bandhan</a> literally means ‘the link of protection’. The idea of protection being a brother’s role and the sister needing the ‘his’ protection is an archaic one. Let us try something unique, let’s break the old patriarchal boundaries and do away with the no longer needed gender restricted traditions.&nbsp;</p>



<p>With Rakhi or any such celebrations, comes an absconding fear of what if. Sometimes the constricted nature of festivities makes it so uninviting for collective participation. But hey, if you gave a hasta-la-vista to your last android with an outdated OS, then it's time to give the same treatment to these outdated rituals with modernised updates.</p>



<p>Forego the obsolete and unrequired pressure of protection from men and share the responsibility of guarding each other. We are suggesting to zoom out from the specific gender lens of raksha bandhan and focus on the satellite view, the larger picture where all of us wish to be protected in some way or the other. How we all need someone to connect with, to rely on.</p>

<p>We are not talking about saviors who will jump the gun over anything for us. But rather friends, sisters, colleagues, partners who give us the best emotional response after any upsets in our life. Yes, the good old shoulders to cry on and lend one’s own shoulders to. People who are our emotional supporters, our caregivers by choice.</p>



<p>The media world is also storming into the full-bound equal sharing of love and bond by starlighting the unique raksha bandhan stories.</p>



<p>Real Juice advertised their <a href="https://www.venuemonk.com/blog/10-movies-to-binge-watch-this-rakhi-with-your-siblings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rakhi</a> specials through a wonderful ad highlighting&nbsp;</p>

<p>Tie a rakhi to the person who cheerleaded you while applying for that job, which you were shuddering away from due to unmatchable experience. Or the badass pal who lectures the shit out of you for not trying on that mauve silk corset top, cause you thought your arms are too plump for it. Bros who plan the entire camping weekend despite their long-hours corporate jobs and make sure your lazy ass tags along. <a href="https://www.venuemonk.com/blog/indian-relatives-at-a-wedding-a-z-dictionary" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Masis and nieces</a> who get along like a house on fire.

<p>In fact, tie rakhi to all those who take care of you, be it your mum, dad, sister or friend. Hey, tie one to yourself. Yeah, go get those cute, silk-soft floral rakhis and celebrate the fact that you have been your own protector and guide through all these years.</p>



<p>Honour the spirit of the festivities&nbsp; and strengthen the bond between all your Jedis. Gather up all your pals who stood like a rock in turmoil times and celebrated each positive. Make <a href="https://www.venuemonk.com/blog/10-movies-to-binge-watch-this-rakhi-with-your-siblings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rakhi </a>the time to highlight your relationship and acknowledge the person who looks after you.&nbsp;</p>

Redefining and Celebrating Relationships This Rakhi

<p>As we celebrate the 75th anniversary of <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.venuemonk.com/blog/india-couture-week-a-sneak-peek" target="_blank">India</a>'s independence, let's look back and reflect on the ways we, the citizens of this country, have found <a href="https://www.venuemonk.com/blog/75th-independence-day-some-notable-movies-to-watch" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">independence</a> and growth or are yet to find it, in our individual sphere. </p>



<p>We'll scoop down on a really microscopic level and focus on our niche, marriages. Hoping to understand how people nudge the traditional <a href="https://www.venuemonk.com/blog/nirvana-club-patio-uplifting-the-wedding-spirit-in-gurgaon" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">wedding</a> and marriage boundaries and free themselves in their own ways. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img src="https://content.venuemonk.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Vector-Dove-India-Olive-Branch-India-August-15th-PNG-Transparent-Clipart-Image-and-PSD-File-for-Free-Download.jpg" alt="75th anniversary of India's independence" class="wp-image-35305"/><figcaption>Picture Via Pinterest</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>In today's world, everything from marriage options, partner selection, to finalizing your wedding venue and <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.venuemonk.com/blog/a-true-inspiration-of-pride-month-these-lgbtq-weddings-will-make-you-fall-in-love-again" target="_blank">giving it your own personal taste</a>, literally everything entails to freedom of choice.</p>



<p>Real freedom is constant search for something we are too blind to see, to go out of the expected ways and find our own paths. This <a href="https://www.venuemonk.com/blog/75th-independence-day-some-notable-movies-to-watch" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Independence day</a>, we focus on marriages and choices, through the looking-glass of freedom. </p>



<h3>SOLOGAMY</h3>



<p>Remember the much-talked-about 'sologamy' of a Gujarat woman back in June this year. Kshama Bindu married herself with all <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.venuemonk.com/blog/nirvana-club-patio-uplifting-the-wedding-spirit-in-gurgaon" target="_blank">wedding</a> traditions at a marriage hall when her formal appeal was rejected by the courts. How about we revisit the definition of this neo term?</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img src="https://content.venuemonk.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Newest-Wedding-Trend_-Self-Marriage-Ceremonies.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-35306" width="600" height="460"/><figcaption>Bride marrying herself at the Wedding Venue<br>Picture Via Pinterest</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>Well according to Wikipedia, Sologamy or autogamy is marriage by a person to themselves. Supporters of this practice argue that it affirms one's own value and leads to a happier life.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Critics argue that the practice is not legally binding unlike traditional marriage as well as rooted in narcissism and self-aggrandizement.</p>



<p>But how do you attach one’s love, self ascertainment and happiness to legal terms?&nbsp;</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://content.venuemonk.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Kshama-Bindu-Sologamy-Wedding-Strange-New-Trend-Marries-Herself-Without-Groom.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-35318"/><figcaption>Bride marrying herself at the Wedding Venue<br>Picture Via Pinterest</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>While a few understood Kshama's choice of marrying herself, many others were puzzled, taken aback or simply refused to see it as a viable or legal thing to do. The idea got in the way of their virtues.</p>



<p>In general, most people believe that their morals and <a href="https://www.venuemonk.com/blog/8-wedding-rituals-that-would-blow-your-mind" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">values</a> are against any alternative ideas of marriage and community. They don't realise how they have been blinded by morals levied on them by their environment. Matter of choice seems a questionable and unrequired entity to them. They have a hard time believing that they are trapped in this moral construct. </p>



<p>Despite the established rule, our laws are dominated by religion. They are less by human and fundamental rights and more about keeping up with moral policies. So thanks to our judiciary and political system, a change in usual norms and marriage traditions suddenly brings everyone in a moral panic.&nbsp;</p>



<p>All their moral alarms start ringing on seeing a solo sheep run out of the flock and find its own green patch to munch on. The one sheep that questions the flock and legit announces either grow with me or let go of me, threatens any community.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://content.venuemonk.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/The-‘sologamy’-trend_-‘Love-yourself’-is-more-than-just-good-advice-The-Boston-Globe.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-36191"/><figcaption>Bride marrying herself at the Wedding Venue<br>Picture Via Pinterest</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>Marriage is a connected dual sacrament in Indian outlook, made for and prospered by heterogeneity. They are convinced that heterogenous married couples balance communities and are key to widespread happiness.</p>



<p>But usually what gives one most happiness, what gives one balance, is being on their own. In the past people have actively sought self-isolation and some&nbsp; - by Western society deemed extreme - forms of asceticism to uplift themselves and the society. So Sologamy is a perfect answer to their desired partnership.</p>



<p>In a world obsessed with networks and families, it is easy to observe how many people cannot cope with solitude. It seems to be a huge failure of education and upbringing in modern societies that does not teach humans on how to be alone and foster one’s own sphere. Kshama’s choice to marry herself is an intimate, visceral and open one for us. She was the superstar at her wedding venue.</p>

<p>Familiar marriage customs and <a href="https://www.venuemonk.com/blog/8-wedding-rituals-that-would-blow-your-mind" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">wedding traditions</a> can actually help us build communities and identities or clip our wings and prevent us from being our authentic selves. But there should always be the freedom to choose.</p>



<p>This independence day, a great practise will be on reflecting on values, emotions and norms of wedding etiquette.</p>



<h3><strong>QUEER MARRIAGES</strong></h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://content.venuemonk.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Yana-Archita-_-Jewish-Hindu-Indian-Russian-multicultural-lesbian-wedding-at-Trust-Philadelphia-Pennsylvania-USA-Smashing-the-Glass-_-Jewish-Wedding-Blog-681x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-35308"/><figcaption>Couple at the Wedding Venue<br>Picture Via Pinterest</figcaption></figure></div>

<p>As India celebrates more and more <a href="https://www.venuemonk.com/blog/a-true-inspiration-of-pride-month-these-lgbtq-weddings-will-make-you-fall-in-love-again" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">queer couples</a> getting married and commemorating their relationship, we see a rise in the lens and a common thread of villainizing and upturning these <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.venuemonk.com/blog/a-true-inspiration-of-pride-month-these-lgbtq-weddings-will-make-you-fall-in-love-again" target="_blank">marriages</a>.  </p>



<p>The longest argument surrounding queer marriages by law has been that in Indian culture, marriage is between a biological man and a biological woman and marriage halls should only observe a heterosexual couple. Thus, completely eliminating any argument regarding the fundamental rights’  issue. </p>



<p>Simply put, moral fear is a highly contagious idea that's created to carry on the perceived values, traditions and institutions. In this case, the queer identity threatens the Indian family system, some even convinced that all this is result of some Western voodoo.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://content.venuemonk.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Indian-grooms-go-viral-for-their-traditional-Hindu-wedding-in-a-temple-682x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-35310"/><figcaption>Couple at the Wedding Venue<br>Picture Via Pinterest</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>Amongst the long term goals of the <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.venuemonk.com/blog/a-true-inspiration-of-pride-month-these-lgbtq-weddings-will-make-you-fall-in-love-again" target="_blank">LGBTQ+</a> community, approval of marriage by a law is definitely a nearest-possible small-term goal. We hope this acceptance of queerness by the cis-het systems, doesn’t delay further and comes with the involvement and discussions with the and understanding of the <a href="https://www.venuemonk.com/blog/a-true-inspiration-of-pride-month-these-lgbtq-weddings-will-make-you-fall-in-love-again" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">queer community</a>.</p>



<p>Active and enthusiastic pariticipation of queer identities is important in equal and visible legal-build up.</p>



<h3><strong>LATE MARRIAGE&nbsp;</strong></h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img src="https://content.venuemonk.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/A-Psychologist-Explains-Why-Late-Marriages-Are-Happier-Than-Early-Ones-576x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-35311" width="581" height="1033"/><figcaption><a href="https://www.stylecraze.com/trending/why-late-marriages-are-happier-than-early-ones/?epik=dj0yJnU9REJCZ0VnRmxGWm5UaFd5bEpYTE5LUFVESWh2ZUlLSmkmcD0wJm49MUIxbFhpdVBwU2tmX2ZtbmM1VUtpUSZ0PUFBQUFBR0wyRUpB">A Psychologist Explains Why Late Marriages Are Happier Than Early Ones (stylecraze.com)</a></figcaption></figure></div>



<p>Search these two words online and you will find a plethora of videos and articles on how to avoid delay in marriage, how to not let your critical marriage age pass away and marry soon, how the youth needs to understand that a six figure salary is the answer to late marriages. Pause, take a breath and divert from this observation to understand human brain maturation.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Did you know that human brains are fully developed by age 25? Human Intelligence peaks during early to middle adulthood, roughly ages 25 to 60. Well, without getting into extreme scientific details, just understand how you are still learning how to be an adult and configure your life in your 20’s. Ideally our problem-solving and crystallized intelligence is still growing till our 30's.&nbsp;</p>



<p>But still intelligence requires various cognitive abilities, so this information&nbsp; may differ according to&nbsp; individual timelines.</p>

<p>Now all this short <em>gyaan</em> is written, just to slow down your palpating heartbeats on thinking that time is ticking away and you are getting too old to find and nurture your own family. We just want you to stop worrying about all this <em>jhamela</em>.</p>



<p>You are treading at your pace in professional life; learning and adapting as per your own abilities. Then meeting your partner and starting a relationship should also be at your own pace. Your time and tempo is more valuable than anything else.</p>



<p>If anything should need your attention, it should be to work like a Trojan on your personality, your commitments, your priorities so that when love does knock on your door, you are self aware and sure of your own preferences. While love is travelling along their journey like a Banjaara trying to find you, Know Thyself.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Invest in yourself and trust us it will reap ten-fold benefits, much higher than your SIP investments (well we wish your financial growth to be as flourishable).&nbsp;</p>

<p>Marriage halls should be filled with happy faces that genuinely want to celebrate their relationship with each other or themselves! </p>



<p>As our institutions, communities, chacchis and mammas etc., take their sweet time to get in line and embrace alternative choice in the Indian matrimonial galaxy, we should rethink our own paths and constantly think about and work upon our interpretations of marriage choices. </p>



<p>Real independence will be in establishing our own sovereignty in marriage plans. </p>

Freedom In Marriages - Independence Day x Weddings Edition

<p>Figuring out your wedding budget is no easy feat. Your wedding will likely be the biggest party you've ever hosted—and the priciest. As Indians, we love to splurge on weddings, Indian weddings are a festival in themselves and when it comes to destination weddings in India, you have to fix on a strict budget. To make a budget, you'll need to tally up your savings, maintain a detailed spreadsheet so you don't go over it during the planning process, prepare for unexpected costs, and make meaningful cuts if you exceed your total budget. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img src="https://content.venuemonk.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Magnificent-mandapam-decorations-for-a-destination-wedding-in-Jaipur-India.jpg" alt="Indian destinations for wedding " class="wp-image-35249"/><figcaption>Photo courtesy - Hitched &amp; Clicked <br>Photo via Pinterest</figcaption></figure></div>

<p>It's hard work, we know, but putting in the time and energy now ensures you'll live happily ever after (wedding-debt free). Here's exactly how to set a wedding budget you can stick to.&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="has-text-align-center">The Wedding Date</h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/sJBNl4rG4Y9-g5zljH5IR55aumA0Kx3oP-W0_iiEB9ujf0GmN4-N59XXkXjcRs7HymW6xEuVS0D1NV9Q3cxLKngUrNDsmKBIECt3UwLa15F-QgmE862oSvyTVfDqro0tKqB-8yuHgDoG2PEddcyfX4c" alt="indian destination wedding "/><figcaption>Photo via Pinterest</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>The wedding season in India is during the chillier months following Diwali - November, December, January, and February. If you want to keep your costs down, think of getting married during the off-season months. All wedding-related expenses will be a little more affordable then.</p>



<p>Here's a guide on how you can select your <a href="https://venuemonk.com/blog/find-out-more-about-the-luckiest-wedding-dates-and-seasons-in-2022"><strong>wedding date in 2022</strong></a></p>



<h3 class="has-text-align-center">Pre-wedding Festivities</h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/fwk0WpHxSBBYk4e0oftNrzvouUbIcm4zHoYBbkm5ynXkWb7L2SlqieKf1k2nWlwsKucc-RJEPppxi-gZzJ1t2rQiH80MResf8GXk2VXd9hEdTC1AiOFQMybO-kjcUHl-9V1SciL6ukIZ1tNj4Z2I20Q" alt="pre-wedding festivities"/></figure></div>



<p>Sangeet, <a href="https://venuemonk.com/blog/trending-mehendi-styles-we-totally-love"><strong>mehndi</strong></a>, wedding ceremony, and reception – the events can keep adding and with each event, your cost rises. So, keep your events limited. If you're set on a multi-event wedding, then club your events together like mehndi and sangeet at the same time and reception immediately following the wedding ceremony. Having all your events in one marriage hall will also take your costs down. You can also choose to have <a href="https://venuemonk.com/blog/looking-for-your-summer-indian-wedding-decor-idea-here-is-our-favorite-pick-of-the-season"><strong>pre-events </strong></a>at your home.</p>



<h3 class="has-text-align-center">The Guest List</h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/YAoTWAEY4bVjJa4F4nvDUQRyQBTJB-Xs6Zn9AenkKuq7_ul3R_h7NDhvqC2yMkcMsXTdO1Crllzvq-b2OhWOrhUs5A5-N3LpWq0eAlkr9jDIK_vBso2u-Ee_j2QEizRUrbbS1N83xDXfqw-QEocCHz8" alt="destination wedding guestlist"/><figcaption>Photo via Pinterest</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>This is a no-brainer. The more guests you invite to your wedding venue, the higher your costs are at each level, especially if you're planning a multi-event wedding celebration. <a href="https://venuemonk.com/blog/heres-the-ultimate-indian-wedding-checklist"><strong>To keep your budget at bay</strong></a>, keep a tight leash around your guest list - edit and review it over and over again if needed. Instead of cutting corners to throw a 'budget' wedding for 500 people with limited finances, try trimming down the guest list and throw a better wedding for about 300 people instead! Make it an unforgettable experience for people who really matter!</p>



<h3 class="has-text-align-center">Deciding The Wedding Venue</h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/jiZ8lbjEBrQ0KB5OjVAX9l6jFWAjWxBxUmSc4pyIjgYcExoRBil1WMYCmCna_6mFluSp000SS2Fm3bXDurL8Es4FhugiW92iejKmGcuLAweFqtPB4EpgQvaA_iawwlLwHurAoURfHN83JyN_-XX_Ozg" alt="Indian destination wedding "/><figcaption>Beautiful decor idea at your wedding venue<br>Image via - Pinterest</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>Party plots and fancy luxurious lawns come with a hefty price tag. Check out local marriage halls or hotel ballrooms to keep your budget down. Come up with <a href="https://venuemonk.com/blog/things-to-keep-in-mind-while-booking-your-wedding-venue"><strong>creative venues</strong></a> like a friend's farmhouse or a relative's home garden, or even the common plot at your place of residence! These venues can end up building some extra special and unique memories. Instead of spending a lot on the wedding venue and the décor separately, try getting a wedding venue that doesn't need much to look amazing! Another good idea is to have a budget 'destination' wedding in a beautiful place on the outskirts of big cities. </p>



<p>Like if you stay in Mumbai, you could choose to have a picturesque wedding in the hills of Lonavala or go to Agra. If you are from <a href="https://venuemonk.com/blog/best-wedding-farmhouses-chattarpur-edition"><strong>Delhi, Chattarpur farmhouses </strong></a>or wedding venues in South Delhi are a perfect choice. If you are looking for a destination wedding in Delhi Smaller cities can bring down the costs by quite a lot only because not too many people choose it so you can go crazy.</p>



<h3 class="has-text-align-center">Catering &amp; Food </h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/2P8OL6XMa7DMDosaEeToPWC8otN83foLNsmbA4biC6oa9ooHSb0jVSK5nK3jGZGtAYWrwygMnR6m2V8EGKD_3wfFS0PZ0k6oEXDaPgpt9ZDEieUliZhqOEkgLQozIieA52BvvH99BYMSGPSreZf9JEo" alt="indian destination wedding food "/><figcaption>Photo via Pinterest</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>Do you know what's the best thing about weddings? <a href="https://venuemonk.com/blog/these-live-food-counters-are-the-og-game-at-indian-weddings-nowadays"><strong>The Khaana</strong></a>. Yummy, mouth-watering delicacies, so rich and so decadent that they can only be served at a wedding, with aplomb. Admit it, you slyly peek into the pantry or the menu, to see what the wedding has in store for you - chaat counters, cheesecake yummies, and loads of biryani from the "famous" vendor in the city. Instead of serving the same old food on the same old counters, get creative! Serve the <a href="https://venuemonk.com/blog/these-live-food-counters-are-the-og-game-at-indian-weddings-nowadays"><strong>food in an interesting way</strong></a> to make things stand out! It doesn’t even have to cost a lot extra! </p>



<p>This is one area that you can really go wild with. <a href="https://venuemonk.com/blog/the-cocktail-drinks-menu-to-serve-in-your-pool-party-2022"><strong>Food and beverages</strong></a> are a MUST at Indian weddings is such an integral part of our culture and an even bigger part of our weddings. It is easy to get carried out with caters coming up with menus that run a mile long with new and exotic dishes from cuisines all over the world. Make sure you stick to the basics and focus on the food quality and not the variety.</p>

<p>This is one area where the couple getting married and the elders of the families will surely disagree. The youngsters will want to have themed decor at the wedding venue and the elders will want to keep things simple. Remember, that the decor is temporary, and think about where else you can utilize the money. Every wedding venue and marriage hall has flowers, but how you use them in your decor makes a very big difference. Instead of having flowers of every color in every corner of the marriage hall, choose a simple arrangement in a single color. Use baby breaths, bougainvillea, mogra, or marigolds - but in innovative ways.</p>

Guide To Planning A Luxurious Destination Wedding On A Budget

<p>A wedding is the most special event for any bride that brings joy for them. Every bride wants to look perfect and traditional at their wedding venue. Gone are the days when a red lehenga was the staple outfit for a bride. Though many celebrities opted for bridal lehengas for the big day, there are many celebs who wore <a href="https://www.venuemonk.com/blog/india-couture-week-a-sneak-peek"><strong>traditional sarees</strong></a> and kept it simple and classy at their wedding. <strong>Take a look at these beautiful brides</strong>.</p>



<h3 class="has-text-align-center">Alia Bhatt chose an Ivory color Sabyasachi Saree</h3>



<p>She chose a chic sari instead of the lehenga that the other <a href="https://www.venuemonk.com/blog/top-15-influencers-to-follow-if-you-love-all-things-fashion"><strong>Bollywood brides</strong></a> wore. She chose an <strong>ivory Sabyasachi drape</strong> and a blouse with matching half-sleeves. Alia Bhatt dressed up for her wedding in a hand-dyed ivory <strong>organza sari</strong> with delicate tilla embroidery and a hand-embroidered tissue veil. Alia Bhatt's wedding ensemble included gold jewelry by <strong>Sabyasachi Heritage Jewellery</strong>, including a choker, jhumkas, and bangles, to match the gold embroidery on her ivory organza sari. Uncut diamonds and hand-strung pearls are used in every item. Her hair was done in a half-up, half-down style, providing the ideal backdrop for her matha patti.</p>

<h3 class="has-text-align-center">Dia Mirza wore a Red Banarsi Saree for her Big Day</h3>



<p>The Bollywood actress opted to keep things convenient for the close-knit event by wearing red, which is a common choice for brides in Indian wedding settings. <strong>Sanjay Garg,</strong> the designer of the local <strong>label Raw Mango,</strong> chose the bridal saree for Dia Mirza. It was the perfect choice for those seeking to take the ceremonial way with their look because it had intricate gold elements woven into it throughout the length of the saree and the border. Dia Mirza paired her saree with a matching blouse that featured half sleeves and clear pattern detailing to maintain a classic look. The actress's elaborate bridal jewelry, which included a mang tikka, earrings, bangles, and a necklace with precious stones, enhanced the look of her clothing.</p>

<h3 class="has-text-align-center">Patralekhaa married Rajkumar Rao in Red Sabyasachi Saree</h3>



<p>Patralekhaa chose a traditional red buti saree adorned with <strong>personalized details and a stunning veil</strong> for her big day at her wedding venue.

If you have been wondering the same, we have the details. <strong>Sabyasachi</strong> himself penned the Bengali verse for the couple to mark their special day.

Top 10 Indian Celebrity Brides Who Ditched Bridal Lehanga And Opted For A Saree On Their Wedding Day

<p>Have you ever looked at the blue and orange hues in the sky and teared up? Do you sometimes download an app because its logo <a href="https://www.venuemonk.com/blog/green-weddings-the-new-normal" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">color</a> appeals to you more?  </p>



<p>You must have come across multiple Buzzfeed quizzes on what color is your personality. The super unique and short quizzes asking questions ranging from which looks suit your vibe to choosing your favorite K3G character to picking options for how will you make your maggi, well we don't know how that works to define your color choice but we'll take a chill pill. </p>



<p>The questions are absurd, but the idea is to get to the crux of your color preferences. Ever wondered what's the point of these quizzes, how and why your selected colors affect you?</p>



<p>The answer is color psychology, it's all in the brain. Color psychology is the study of hues as an indicator of human behavior.</p>



<p>Now that we know how certain colors affect us, where do we see its use? Well everywhere, advertising, product design, company's logo design, costume design, set design, anything you look at.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Color psychology plays a role in expression of emotions. You know what absolutely uplifts your mood and brings out your peak emotions - colors, specifically your favorite color. The one that comes from positive experiences and events that left a huge emotional impact on you.&nbsp;</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img src="https://content.venuemonk.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/The-Freshest-and-Most-Fun-Mehendi-Sarees-We-Spotted-On-Brides-1.jpg" alt="Wedding Venue" class="wp-image-35056"/><figcaption>Photo courtesy - Hitched &amp; Clicked <br>Photo via Pinterest</figcaption></figure></div>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img src="https://content.venuemonk.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Photo-of-Suspended-umbrella-decor-at-a-day-mehendi-function-1.jpg" alt="Wedding Venue" class="wp-image-35058" width="608" height="912"/><figcaption>Wedding Venue<br>Photo via Pinterest</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>But how do these colors, emotions and their relationship affect your wedding plans? You see, emotions help create memories, and memories are what you and your partner wish to create at your wedding. By now you must have guessed what stirs these emotions the most - Colors.&nbsp; They are instrumental in activating feelings within you and your guests.</p>



<p>Throughout the wedding planning process, you will come across so many choices for designs and colors. Having a basic idea of what color soothes you and livens up your senses is very important.&nbsp;</p>



<p>As Pablo Picasso said, “Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions.” Most of you are aware of what colors represent, green is associated with nature, blue represents intelligence and yellow signifies happiness. Usually color associations are considered a very collective perception. But our individual perceptions and associations can differ. Picture this, when you and your partner first met on date, they were wearing a navy blue shirt. That date has snowballed into this wonderful wedding you both are planning for. Now navy blue can have a memory association of love and warmth for you. </p>



<p>Let’s see how you can incorporate the idea of color psychology in your wedding plans.</p>



<h3><strong>Wedding Dress</strong></h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://content.venuemonk.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Sangeet-lehenga-for-a-bride-_-Pastel-bridal-lehenga-designs-1-683x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-34611"/><figcaption>Bride at the Wedding Venue<br>Photo via Pinterest</figcaption></figure></div>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://content.venuemonk.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/A-Garden-Inspired-Indian-Wedding-in-Memphis-Tennessee-764x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-34295"/><figcaption>Bride at the Wedding Venue<br>Photo via Pinterest</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>Ranking at the top of the hardest decisions of your life would be deciding the wedding dress. Majority of you will have a mish-mash of ideas on how to stun everyone at the wedding venue. Tracking your color palette will be a good starting point to decide ‘The Dress’.  </p>



<p>It's high time we say Sayonara to the traditional red and white colors. Let's gush over the pastels, serene green, wacky orange, balmy pink, vintage wine-colored purple or even better a multi-color magnetic gown that sparkles you and your persona. Make the unconventional the new norm. Break the standards, they shouldn't last this long anyway. </p>



<p>As mentioned above, memory association is the key to color psychology. Memories of a certain color can completely change the way we feel about it. Recalling sensations such as sounds, taste and smell associated with a certain color will help.</p>



<p>One of the easier ways to get inspiration for a color is to search it in the things that you love. Think about your favorite art piece, the color jacket of your favorite book, old furniture that you still adore or the rugged yet still perfect pair of shoes that you just can't let go of.</p>



<p>Think of the colors that appeal to you by looking at your wardrobe, your handbags' color preference, the color of your walls. Make a list of this palette and address them by an emotion that you feel. Make note, the idea is to understand your appeal for that color, so it's okay to find purple a more passionate color than red.</p>



<h3><strong>Wedding Venue Hues</strong></h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img src="https://content.venuemonk.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/istockphoto-479977238-612x612-1-3.jpg" alt="Decor at the Wedding Venue

<p>Pops of red, glistening white hues, warm gold and chocolate browns are some of the best looks out there. Make sure you speak with the wedding venue dealers on how you wish to highlight your color of choice. Collaborate with them and take their piece of advice on how you can add more hues through furniture, decor, in the surrounding. For starters, why should everyone have a red or <a href="https://www.venuemonk.com/blog/green-weddings-the-new-normal" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">green wedding</a> carpet at the marriage hall? </p>



<p>Seasonality can also have a big impact on color choices. Different weather can be associated with food, clothes and designs. But seasons shouldn't be the only criteria, time of day matters too, and should also be a big consideration. Colors look different when placed in different areas, making color location a key deciding factor. Try to test drive colors in the location they are going to be seen.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Warm colors in the food counter are a good idea, as it triggers your appetite way more than cool colors. Pink has been proven to be a calming color and pops of pink in the wedding suite will help the marrier in easing down the pre-wedding jitters. So, decorate the room with pink flowers or balloons, as it can help to keep the anxiety and nervous tickling at bay.</p>



<h3><strong>Wedding Decor</strong></h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img src="https://content.venuemonk.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Screenshot_20220803-134017_Chrome.jpg" alt="Table setting at a Wedding Venue

<p>Individuals can sometimes associate colors with feminine or masculine tones. We abhor this idea, we suggest you to ignore such archaic views and choose any color that excites you and your partner.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Unlike most, we recommend not to consider decor as the icing on the cake, but rather a whole five layered rainbow cake delicacy. And who wants a plain-vanilla based cake (no offense to vanilla lovers).</p>



<p>Decorations should be your individual way to amp up the whole venue. Instead of using a white hue or yellow hue based light, you can choose a green tint or purple tint light. Try experimenting with the color spectrum available. Use pastels as viable options during spring and summer.</p>



<p>Planning a wedding in October or November, then lit up the wedding decor with Halloween lights or pumpkin decorations. Bring out the orange theme in the most goofy way possible.</p>



<h3><strong>Wedding Invites</strong></h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img src="https://content.venuemonk.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Luxury-Indian-Wedding-Digital-Invitation-_-Save-the-date-_-Inspired-by-Botanical.jpg" alt="Wedding Invites" class="wp-image-35167"/><figcaption>Photo via Pinterest</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>While choosing the colors of invites, think of it as choosing an experience or emotion that you wish to feel. An experience that you want to collectively invoke in everyone at your <a href="https://www.venuemonk.com/blog/green-weddings-the-new-normal" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">wedding</a>. This is a very strong communication tool to influence your mood, and induce physiological reactions. </p>



<p>Pick a color that speaks of celebrations to you. Color psychology states that colors are associated with blood pressure, eyestrain and mood, think of colors that evoke your emotions. You will surprisingly find a way to choose a color that you wish to impact on others. That should be the color for your wedding invites. Define your personality and quirks through these wedding invites.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img src="https://content.venuemonk.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Indian-wedding-invitation-by-Nithi-D-scaled.jpg" alt="Wedding Invites" class="wp-image-35168"/><figcaption>Photo via Pinterest</figcaption></figure></div>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img src="https://content.venuemonk.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Keyuri-Mehendi-CLONE-_-Send-online-instantly-_-Track-opens.png" alt="Wedding Invites" class="wp-image-35169"/><figcaption>Photo via Pinterest</figcaption></figure></div>



<p>Remember there are no rights and wrongs, your happiness and warmth will saturate any color you want to highlight on your wedding day. Understand the emotion associated with each color and then tweak it the way you wish to. </p>



<p>It is your wedding plan and what excites you should always be at the forefront of your decisions. Have fun, play around and don’t fret if things don’t go as planned.   </p>
